+- Starting with version 0.6.0, other servers are identified using asynchronous
passwords: therefore the variable "Password" in [Server]-sections has been
replaced by "MyPassword" and "PeerPassword".
The first step, autogen.sh, is only necessary if the configure-script isn't
already generated. This never happens in official ("stable") releases in

autogen.sh produces the Makefile.in's, which are necessary for the configure
script itself, and some more files for make. To run autogen.sh you'll need

This files will be installed by default:

In the sample configuration file, there are comments beginning with "#" OR
";" -- this is only for the better understanding of the file.

server-name and the ports, on which the server should be listening. In the
[Operator] section, the server-operators are defined and [Server] is the
